Activation Procedure.

The Brazil sim comes without a mobile number assigned. The mobile number is assigned upon arrival in Brazil when you first power up your phone. Follow the onscreen messages to select a mobile number. Once complete you will receive an sms with the mobile number and sim card number. You should then register the sim to allow access to carrier plans and promotions. .. We have an activation guide here.

Simply dial any number and a voice recording will prompt you to enter your activation code (CPF). Dial it into your keypad and press the hash symbol. If you are a visitor from overseas, you probably do not have a CPF. Dial *144 or 1056 and press send. You’ll be connected with a Vivo representative who will transfer you to someone who speaks English. They will get your line registered and off you go.

Vivo: 1058 from your phone or 0800 775 12 12 if dialing from a telephone in Brazil

Alternatively, dial *144# from your handset, press ok/send/yes two times, enter the activation code (CPF), and press ok/send/yes.

But I don't have a CPF - A CPF number is called a Cadastro de Pessoa Física or translated “Registration of a Physical Person”. It is not necessary to have a CPF to get cellular service in Brazil... Call 1058 and they will take your Passport number to complete registration, and away you go.
